Setting up some automated system (or even manual to start with) that finds the owner of the IP, reports all details of abuse to the owner and records communication from there on etc.
List the details of the abuse publicly, maybe with some scoring of who does respond and who doesn't. I.e. eventually it will start to reflect bad upon a Telco if it shows they've been sent 1,000 complaints and responded to not one etc... Once the site has been going for a while and gets known, the media and companies will start to care and take action. I'm sure there are tons of ways to get something done, if not straight away, it will be eventually.
